The 8171 Web Portal is the official online service launched by the Government of Pakistan to help beneficiaries of BISP and Benazir Kafalat Program. Instead of standing in long queues or waiting for SMS alerts, you can directly log in, enter your CNIC, and instantly know:
-
If you are eligible for the latest 13,500 rupee payment.
-
Whether you need to complete a survey.
-
Or if your record is missing and needs updating.
The portal is free to use and can be accessed from any smartphone or computer with an internet connection.
How to Check Your CNIC and Payment Status Online
Here’s the simple process to use the 8171 Web Portal:
-
Visit the official website: Go to 8171.bisp.gov.pk in your browser.
-
Enter your CNIC: Type your 13-digit CNIC number (without dashes).
-
Complete the captcha: Type the security code shown on the screen.
-
Click submit: The portal will instantly display your current status.
Your status will show one of three results:
-
Eligible: You can collect your 13,500 payment after biometric verification.
-
Survey Required: You must visit your nearest BISP office to update your household data.
-
Not Found: You need to register or update your details at a BISP center.
Who Is Eligible for the 13,500 Payment?
The 8171 Web Portal only confirms status for families that meet BISP’s criteria, including:
-
Female-headed or low-income households.
-
Widows, divorced women, or women with disabilities.
-
Families living below the national poverty line (as per the NSER survey).
If you haven’t completed the NSER (National Socio-Economic Registry) survey, you’ll need to visit a BISP center before you can qualify.
Why Use the 8171 Web Portal Instead of SMS?
While the 8171 SMS service also lets you check your status, the web portal is faster and gives more details. With the portal, you can:
-
See your exact payment status (approved, pending, or under review).
-
Get updates about the next disbursement date.
-
Avoid extra visits to the BISP office unless necessary.
How to Stay Safe While Checking Your Payment
Unfortunately, scammers often trick beneficiaries by sending fake links or SMS messages. Stay safe by following these tips:
-
Only use the official 8171 Web Portal (8171.bisp.gov.pk).
-
Never share your CNIC or PIN with unknown people or WhatsApp groups.
-
Ignore anyone asking for money to “speed up” your payment—it’s free.
-
Report fraud by calling the official BISP helpline: 0800-26477.
